As homeowners look for ways to improve their home comfort, increasing the energy bill might not be their first choice.
But there’s a way to improve your cooling by 2-3 degrees per room without turning on the air conditioner: using ceiling fans.
Read on to learn more and let the licensed electricians in Denver at Bell Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical install ceiling fans throughout your home!
Ceiling fans can’t simply be placed where a light fixture is; the fan is heavier, needs a bigger junction box, and requires a beam to be affixed to. Additionally, it is connected directly to your home’s electrical wiring. All these things add up to hiring an expert to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.
The biggest benefit a ceiling fan offers is air circulation. When set properly for cooling (fans have settings for heating and cooling), the fan forces the warm, rising air to the floor, pushing the cool air that settles in the lower part of your room to mix. In turn, this helps cool the air between 2-3 degrees below the temperature you’ve set. As such, ceiling fans can allow you to set your thermostat higher, which helps save energy.
Similarly, ceiling fans can also help warm up your indoor spaces. Reversing the direction of the fan blades can help circulate warm air trapped near the ceiling, distributing it evenly throughout the room and reducing heating costs.
Another benefit is added comfort. With better-circulated air, you will feel cooler, and you’ll always have a nice, light breeze to keep you feeling that way.
